Emails, no. But plenty of messages on LinkedIn from people recruiting for Amazon.
I usually say "thanks but no thanks" because I'm not actively looking for a new gig right now.

#12Yes. Nonstop. Got two today.
I've already run their gauntlet once and a few of the interviewers were dbags (though two were exceedingly awesome and nice).

#13Lots. Meta too until recently.

#14I replied to a recruiting email with: "I would literally rather shoot myself in the fucking head twice than work for Amazon." That was last year, and I continue to receive their recruiting emails every week or two.
Say you love in the eu now and moved DVD you need your data to be deleted and never get contacted again :)

#15Amazon is a very decentralized company. Which means that Amazon's thousands of recruiters are all operating independently of each other, and have minimal systems/regulations to prevent multiple recruiters contacting the same person. The different recruiters are often recruiting for different teams/divisions as well, so if you're open to joining Amazon, you should certainly talk to a recruiter whose team matches your interests.

#16After a busy season of Amazon recruiter spam, which didn't stop even after I asked to be removed from their database, I emailed their corporate support at jeff@amazon.com and it stopped almost complete.

#17I get a ton! And it’s frustrating because I wouldn’t pass the crazy white board interviews (hazing). If they really wanted to hire all these people why not have a better interview process?
i've started telling the horde of recruiters exactly why i don't want to take a side job studying for their interviews for a slight chance to work somewhere that is reportedly bad to work at - maybe if enough people say something to enough of them they'll trickle it upwards.
that's a good pipe dream, but one can hope.

#18I actually added them to my "spammy recruiters" Sieve rule because I was getting so many. The combination of these rules catches a LOT of recruiter spam; most importantly, it seems that most of the recruiters that configure their tooling to automatically nag 3 times (once per week) use one of these packages, so I get to ignore them as well.
Filtering ant.amazon.com keeps order emails and such while discarding any mail sent from recruiters (though it would likely also filter mail from non-recruiters if you actually correspond with someone at Amazon).
